Effect of high odrer dispersion on soliton interaction in coupled Kerr cavities
We investigate the interaction of dissipative Kerr solitons in two nearly identical coherently driven, coupled microresonators in the presence of third-order dispersion (TOD).Reading Why: Born-Measured Attention with Exact Word Evidence on Light and Qubits
When a language model answers, we can usually only estimate why.Neuromorphic Camera for Multi-Target Pointing Acquisition and Tracking in Free Space Optical Communication
Pointing, Acquisition, and Tracking (PAT) in Free-Space Optical Communication (FSOC) applications must achieve both low jitter and a large Field of View (FoV) to support beacon acquisition and…Mueller Matrix Decomposition for a General Rotating Compensator Ellipsometer
This work develops a Mueller matrix decomposition that factors a nondepolarizing Mueller matrix $M$ into three components $M = T_1 D T_2$, where the elements $D$, which correspond to a diagonal…A closed-form design rule for photonic hopfions of arbitrary order
Topological textures of light are robust against perturbation and are emerging as carriers of information and probes of light-matter interaction.Optical Detection of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion via Frequency Tracking at Cryogenic Temperatures
Accurate characterization of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) in nanoscale thin films is critical for predicting residual stress and ensuring the reliability of modern…Nearly Transform-Limited Pulse-Like Temporal and Narrowband Spectral Responses in Sum-Frequency Generation from Bright Twin Beams
We simultaneously characterize the temporal and spectral responses of the coherent component in bright twin beams using a spectrally resolved, delay-dependent sum-frequency generation (SFG)…Conditional stopping guarantees for a folded parametrization of reduced Stokes vectors
Stopping decisions made in parametrization coordinates need not certify physically accurate estimates.Coupled Soft-Clamped Polygon Resonators with Tunable Mechanical Coupling
Coupler geometry controls both the frequency splitting and the dissipation of coupled polygon resonators.Deterministic and dynamic synthesis of optical skyrmions through an ultrathin multimode fibre
Topological light fields offer powerful opportunities for information encoding, transport, and manipulation, yet their deterministic generation in complex scattering media remains an outstanding…Chiral phonon magnetism from localized Raman excitation
Optically driven chiral phonons can induce transient magnetism in non-magnetic crystals, yet the microscopic relationship between phonon angular momentum and the resulting magnetic response remains…Physics-Informed Surrogate for Sb2S3 Dispersion Trimming in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate
A film-thickness error of 8 nm, within the tolerance of commercial thin-film lithium niobate wafers, shifts the group-velocity dispersion $β_2$ at 1550 nm by about 28 ps$^2$ km$^{-1}$.Edge photocurrent distribution in luminescent solar concentrators: analytical treatment and solar cell arrangement
In luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs), the light flux along the edges is non-uniform, which causes current mismatch between series-connected edge solar cells.Phase-locked beam splitting with continuously tunable intensity ratio using stochastic phase masks
We introduce a common-path beam splitter based on a randomly partitioned phase mask displayed on a spatial light modulator (SLM).A plug-and-play platform for self-aligning 3D-printed structures on optical fibers
Two-photon polymerization 3D printing advances optical fibers into complex lab-on-fiber devices.Electromagnetic Information Theory for Programmable Metasurfaces
Programmable metasurfaces enable fine-grained control of electromagnetic waves and are creating new opportunities for information extraction, information transfer and information processing.Inducing cooperative dynamics in an inhomogeneous many-emitter ensemble with a pulse sequence
Driving a many-particle quantum system with an appropriately tuned external field can give rise to features in its nonequilibrium dynamics that are absent in the equilibrium counterpart.Shot-to-shot statistical fluctuations during beam self-cleaning in multimode fibers
Beam self-cleaning in multimode optical fibers has recently been interpreted within a thermodynamic framework, in which nonlinear propagation drives the optical field towards a statistical…Brillouin comb line amplifiers for optical atomic clocks
Optical atomic clocks outperform the microwave clocks at the heart of current timing and navigation infrastructure by orders-of-magnitude, and recent progress in on-chip integration provides the…Writing with Near-Field: towards Atomic Resolution in Material Processing
Direct laser writing with ultra-short pulses is the most flexible route to two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) material modification, yet its resolution is judged against the optical diffraction limit.
